Message:

Remove most references to PCRE1

Some notes:

• proftpd has been supporting PCRE2 since 1.3.8a.
• bluefish actually invokes PCRE via Glib, so since Glib was ported from PCRE1 to PCRE2 bluefish has been using PCRE2 in fact.
• zsh and rasqal will support PCRE2 in the next release. For zsh pcre is not used with book instruction anyway, and for rasqal the maintainer suggests just relying on Glibc regex.h before the next release.
• The other distros (Fedora for eg) are already disabling PCRE for slang.
